How To Play
Five card draw is one of the most common types of poker games. Each player is dealt five cards. Then each player may discard up to 3 cards (4 if your last card is an ace) and get back (from the deck) as many cards as he/she discarded. The player with the highest hand wins.

Ties
If one of the players never starts the game or both players time out, the game is declared a tie. The only other possible way to tie is if both players form the same exact hand which is very unlikely.
